Building a Range

Free Staters are a helpful and neighborly bunch. I've gotten a crew of my new friends to come over and help me build a safer gun range on my property.

The old backstop was technically sufficient for pistol shooting, but the direction could have been better and the backstop could have been bigger. So I put out the call, and got out the chainsaw!

Dave Ridley was one of those who came by to help, and he brought his camera to document the Free Staters in action.

Dave mentions the Deerfield Fair at the beginning of the video. That got started today, and I volunteered for a while at the NHLA's booth. I did make the unfortunate choice to ride my bicycle the 4 miles to the fair. I was soaked with sweat by the time I got there - at least I didn't have to worry about parking.
